Collection

Post by sharktc »

a collection driver asked me this today and i am not too sure but so i came here :)

He asked me that he finishes his collection at 18:45 on a Friday and he is expected to be in at 6:15 am saturday is this right? is it not against work law.

anyone got any ideas on this? i think it is something like if you're not at work for 10 hours it's fine but I'm not sure.

45 hours weekly break and that can be reduced to 24 hours every alternate week
